Are you sure you are on the most recent version of ethers? If so, can you use the non-minified version so you can provide a better line number? :)

Using: https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ethers-io/ethers.js/master/packages/ethers/dist/ethers.esm.jspsytron commentedon May 20, 2022
Adding this on line 4909 seems to fix the issue. It imports successfully and ethers appears to be functioning normally in web workers. Hopefully something else isn't breaking or requiring separate version of ethers for non-web-worker use :)

I've confirmed this issue. Researching how to fix it now, as the dust files are generated by rollup; there is likely some config to make this play nicely with others.

This should be fixed in 5.6.7. Please try it out and let me know.
Thanks! :)

Confirmed imports perfectly now
ethers.version => 'ethers/5.6.7'
Excellent !! Thank You! :)
